A man's got to know his limitations

| I usually have $50 to 150 in my wallet always. I don't rely on my debit card for everything. Never can tell when something in cyberspace could fuck up. It's a good idea to have both in your wallet.

| Less than $20 unless I'm on a specific cash-required mission. Debit card for 99% of in-person purchases, credit card for on-line. Makes it MUCH easier to track spending.

As Extraordinary as Everyone Else

| I just sold a car to a guy from TX who flew up to NC to buy it sight unseen. Before he left home I told him that it was cash or no deal. Well he flew up with quite a bundle and we closed the deal. (I’m glad no one stopped him for an asset forfeiture situation). Anyway, looking at that stash of $100 bills led my wife and I to discuss this topic and at the end of the day I still carry only $10 to $20 in cash…She on the other hand… well you can guess!

What is it with wimmen? My wife carries $1000+ in her purse "in case we want to buy something unexpected." I can't seem to convince her that's what credit cards are for. If her purse is stolen, we're fucked with no recourse. If my credit card is stolen/hacked NFCU takes care of it.

Just having a good time

| Most of my life was spent on the road. I carried 500 + most all the time. I am now home most all the time and still keep that much. Old habits are hard to break.

| Minimum of $150 usually ablut $250. Due to hacking I no longer use a debit card except for Samsung pay at Publix or the Neighborhood Walmart grocery. I keep my credit card usage mainly for online purchases. If I am going to Costco or buying a large item I take the amount of cash needed. Too many card hacks have made me revert to cash.

| I usually pay with a credit card, but I try to keep at least $100 in my wallet. I am not going to pay for mickey mouse stuff ( < $10 ) with a cc. Also, if it's a store I like ( eg, a gun store  ) I pay cash if I can so they don't have to fork over 3% to the cc company.
